Candace Eloph discovered that the guy living across the street was her long-lost brother.

She had moved into a Shreveport neighborhood, across the street from a couple who had a 32-year-old son. Eight months ago, that 32-year-old son, Jamie Wheat, moved back in with his parents.

He and Eloph became friends -- and one day started talking about family.
